I remember seeing war hero Jimmy Doolittle fly a Gee Bee racer there. He was my childhood hero. Many years later, I was lucky enough to go hunting with him.

Each test pilot I know considers him, or herself, now that there are women, to be the very best. It's very demeaning to step down the ladder once in a while

I don't go along with going to Moon first to build a launch pad to go to Mars. We should go to Mars from Earth orbit. We have already been to the Moon; we've already practiced.

Kennedy had made a mess in Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. He had to do something to look good. The Apollo program of going to the Moon was quite a goal.

I left Earth three times and found no other place to go. Please take care of Spaceship Earth.

Levity is the lubricant of a crisis. We resort to jokes, pranks and good natured kidding to relieve tension, stress and boredom.

I've always thought space station is a great name. It should be like a gas station where we go for service and supplies before heading further out

A little levity is appropriate in a dangerous trade.

We spent a lot of time in simulators. We were going to do it right.

Kids today don't want to get married. Too many of their friends have been married and divorced already. They just don't believe in it

Apollo was a big, unwieldy vehicle. I had a problem with the flight controllers over that. It would try to fare its way like an airplane.

In my opinion, the sun was made to light worthier toil than this.

If you find that you “disagree” with something I’ve written, then you missed the point!!

I'm surprised I could actually talk with how much I was grinning.

After it is all over, the religion of man is his most important possession.

The observation of nature is part of an artist's life, it enlarges his form [and] knowledge, keeps him fresh and from working only by formula, and feeds inspiration.

Misfortune is the root of good fortune; good fortune gives birth to misfortune.

I like tattoos. I'm gonna be covered. I'm not going to touch my face or under the chin on the neck: it's my least favorite place.

Liberty is a soul’s right to breathe.

All the home I know is a hotel. Why, I don't even have a dog... I don't know the first thing about cooking or taking care of a house.

I would like to deal with a person who is able to take responsible decisions and implement the agreements reached. The name [Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton] does not matter.
